Abstract
γ-TiAl single crystals have been successfully prepared by an induction-heated cold crucible Czochralski technique which offers more flexibility than vertical float zoning. Compositional analysis of the Czochralski grown single crystals indicates a homogeneous composition after initial transition; and the average composition is close to the peritectic composition. However, γ-TiAl single crystals prepared by vertical float zoning show a small aluminium segregation profile along the growth direction; and the average composition of the as-grown crystals is close to that of the starting alloy. Compositional analysis further demonstrated the banded structure with alternative single γ-phase and α2 + γ lamellar regions in the vertical float zoned Ti-54 at.% Al.
